Choosing The Right Deck For Your Home

December 17, 2018

Keep these factors in mind if you’re planning on add a deck to your home.

Adding a deck to your home is one of the best home improvement projects you can do. Not only will it add value to your home and boost your curb appeal, but it will also offer another space you can use for relaxation. Decks are a truly versatile and addition to any home, no matter what season it is. You can use your deck to entertain guests, cook, or just to hang around. All decks are different though, so it’s vital to make the proper considerations before you install one. Here are some things to consider when you are planning to add a deck to your home.

Material

Decks come in different materials, each with their own unique benefits and drawbacks. Composite decks are made of a combination of wood and vinyl and can be an attractive option to many homeowners. One of the biggest reasons for this is the fact that it is such a low-maintenance material, which is especially important when dealing with different weather conditions. It can withstand the elements without rotting or weathering. Wood decks are strong and beautiful. Once you’ve installed one, you can be sure that it’ll last for years with the proper maintenance. Some homeowners don’t have the time or desire to weatherproof a wood deck, so consider your situation before doing this.

Purpose & Size

Your intended purpose for your deck will allow you to determine how big it’ll need to be. If you are planning on entertaining a lot of guests on your deck regularly, you’ll want to install a relatively large one. This will give your guests enough room to move around without getting in each other’s way. However, if you’re planning on just putting a grill on your deck or using it as a space where you can relax by yourself, you should opt for a smaller deck. You should also consider what your plan for your deck means for the amount of furniture you’ll need.
